Wisconsin pioneers of the 1830s and '40s--largely Irish, German and Scandinavian immigrants--came west on paddlewheel steamboats. They harvested lumber from Wisconsin forests and shipped it to Chicago and eastern markets in hundreds of specialized lumber schooners,. Boat makers in
Wisconsin ports such as Manitowoc, WI built the tall, wind-powered ships. Even after the rise of steam boats, these lumber schooners continued to sail into the 20th century--The Great LakesMaritime HistoryProject.
Historian Rob Burg says the lumber Schooners had an "open hull, lacking any interior compartment below deck to allow cut lumber of all sizes to be loaded." Shyboygan City Historian Bill Wangerman says the 19th-century lake schooner was the 18-wheeler semitrailer truck of its day, and the Great Lakes was its super highway."
Between 1850 and 1875 Oshkosh lumber companies supplied Southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

The long-delayed $1.1bn sale of a 70 percent stake in Sri Lanka's Hambantota port, which straddles the world's busiest east-west shipping route, has been signed off in Colombo.
It will help Sri Lanka get on top of mounting debts and adds another important link in China's 'New Silk Road'.
But many in Sri Lanka see it as a sell out, and India is worried about China moving into its backyard.
Can Sri Lanka keep its worried neighbours on its side, while trying to play a bigger role in China's ambitious trade plans?

Field office personnel from the Army Corps of Engineers office in Kewaunee today posted new warning signs on the north and south breakwaters in the city of Port Washington's harbor.
While people will not be prohibited from walking out onto the breakwater, they will encounter signage that will clearly paint a picture of the extremely dangerous conditions
and declare the structures unsafe.
This development is not unexpected, and frankly offers us another opportunity to bring public attention to the challenge our city faces in short, our ongoing fight to secure
appropriation and authorization for federal funding of a long term fix to these vital
breakwaters.
To all of you who have called, e-mailed, or written, THANK YOU! You ARE making a difference. If you have yet to do so, PLEASE DO SO NOW! Congressman Petri, SenatorJohnson, and Senator Baldwin need to hear from us. Don't assume your friends, neighbors, and others are and thus your voice doesn't matter. We need a strong, unified, collective voice to affect change and secure authorization and appropriation of federal funds to fix this vital federal asset before it fails!
On behalf of our entire City of Port and all of Ozaukee County -- all who benefit from Ozaukee County's ONLY harbor and marina -- THANK YOU!

Next week, NAFTA negotiators will sit down to continue a trade battle with an unknown outcome. PresidentTrump – who has famously called for scrapping the 23-year old treaty – now says he prefers a deal.
U.S. row crop farmers are stuck watching from the wings to see whether their record corn and soybean production will have open roads to foreign ports. However, one upper Midwestern crop has long found a path to prosperity in a world awash in grain.

The paper's print version has the second-largest circulation, behind The Wall Street Journal, and the largest circulation among the metropolitan newspapers in the United States. It is ranked 39th in the world by circulation. Following industry trends, its weekday circulation has fallen to fewer than one million daily since 1990. Nicknamed for years as "The Gray Lady", The New York Times has long been regarded within the industry as a national "newspaper of record". It is owned by The New York Times Company. Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr. – whose family (Ochs-Sulzberger) has controlled the paper for five generations, since 1896 – is both the paper's publisher and the company's chairman. Its international version, formerly the International Herald Tribune, is now called the International New York Times.

Wisconsin's historic lumber schooners

Wisconsin pioneers of the 1830s and '40s--largely Irish, German and Scandinavian immigrants--came west on paddlewheel steamboats. They harvested lumber from Wisconsin forests and shipped it to Chicago and eastern markets in hundreds of specialized lumber schooners,. Boat makers in
Wisconsin ports such as Manitowoc, WI built the tall, wind-powered ships. Even after the rise of steam boats, these lumber schooners continued to sail into the 20th century--The Great LakesMaritime HistoryProject.
Historian Rob Burg says the lumber Schooners had an "open hull, lacking any interior compartment below deck to allow cut lumber of all sizes to be loaded." Shyboygan City Historian Bill Wangerman says the 19th-century lake schooner was the 18-wheeler semitrailer truck of its day, and the Great Lakes was its super highway."
Between 1850 and 1875 Oshkosh lumber companies supplied Southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

What is behind China's purchase of a port in Sri Lanka? - Inside Story

The long-delayed $1.1bn sale of a 70 percent stake in Sri Lanka's Hambantota port, which straddles the world's busiest east-west shipping route, has been signed off in Colombo.
It will help Sri Lanka get on top of mounting debts and adds another important link in China's 'New Silk Road'.
But many in Sri Lanka see it as a sell out, and India is worried about China moving into its backyard.
Can Sri Lanka keep its worried neighbours on its side, while trying to play a bigger role in China's ambitious trade plans?

Breakwater Disintegration in Port Washington Wisconsin

Field office personnel from the Army Corps of Engineers office in Kewaunee today posted new warning signs on the north and south breakwaters in the city of Port Washington's harbor.
While people will not be prohibited from walking out onto the breakwater, they will encounter signage that will clearly paint a picture of the extremely dangerous conditions
and declare the structures unsafe.
This development is not unexpected, and frankly offers us another opportunity to bring public attention to the challenge our city faces in short, our ongoing fight to secure
appropriation and authorization for federal funding of a long term fix to these vital
breakwaters.
To all of you who have called, e-mailed, or written, THANK YOU! You ARE making a difference. If you have yet to do so, PLEASE DO SO NOW! Congressman Petri, SenatorJohnson, and Senator Baldwin need to hear from us. Don't assume your friends, neighbors, and others are and thus your voice doesn't matter. We need a strong, unified, collective voice to affect change and secure authorization and appropriation of federal funds to fix this vital federal asset before it fails!
On behalf of our entire City of Port and all of Ozaukee County -- all who benefit from Ozaukee County's ONLY harbor and marina -- THANK YOU!

U.S. row crop farmers are stuck watching from the wings to see whether their record corn and soybean production will have open roads to foreign ports. However, one upper Midwestern crop has long found a path to prosperity in a world awash in grain.
